Shake Shack to open first Alabama location at The Summit

The New York City based restaurant is set to open its first Alabama location in The Summit in late summer 2018, according to a press release sent out Tuesday.

“We’re proud to bring our first Alabama Shack to Birmingham, a city with such distinct culture and charm,” said Randy Garutti, Shake Shack CEO. “We’re eager to join Birmingham’s flourishing culinary scene and offer the community a great place to grab a burger and gather with family and friends.”

The 3,520-square-foot Shake Shake will be located at 200 Summit Boulevard, near Pandora. The space will include an outdoor patio, and it will be constructed with recycled and sustainable materials. Booths will be made from lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and table tops will be made from reclaimed bowling alley lanes, according to a release.

The menu will include burgers, fries, hand-spun shakes, frozen custard and other Shake Shack staples such as griddled flat-top dogs and chicken sandwiches. The location will also serve craft beer and wine.
